About Susan
Susan Huerta is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and addiction. Her work focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to feel steadier.
She offers straightforward support for life transitions and change. That includes work-related stress, caregiver strain, and navigating separation or divorce. She also helps people dealing with chronic pain, illness, and end-of-life concerns.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens first and then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. She uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment approaches to ease distress and build coping skills. She also draws on client-centered and DBT-informed methods when emotion regulation or communication skills are needed.
Her practice includes help with relationship patterns, communication problems, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation. She supports people working through trauma and abuse and offers EMDR-informed care for trauma processing when appropriate. Susan aims to work collaboratively so each person finds what fits them.
The emphasis is on practical tools, rebuilding self-worth, and strengthening everyday routines. Many clients leave with clearer priorities and skills they can use between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life while learning to notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by shifting attention to what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down worries and patterns into manageable parts and teaches practical skill work to change thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday stressors.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional hold. When appropriate, EMDR-informed work can support trauma recovery and lessen distress tied to past events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That plan can change over time as needs evolve and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth therapy and skills coaching, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
